As some of you know, I am a huge modern era movie buff. I'm celebrating my 900th movie rating. So I've decided to challenge myself a bit. Me and a few friends came up with the "5 degrees of seperation in Hollywood" basically it works like this.

You say 2 names.

Brad Pitt - Ben Affleck

1rst degree:
Brad Pitt worked on Oceans Eleven with George Clooney

2nd degree:
George Clooney worked with Jennifer Lopez on out of sight

3rd degree:
Jennifer Lopez worked on Gigli with Ben Affleck

So this one was pretty simple. So I challenge svtp to stump me. Only rule is you must prove that there are 5 degrees between the people you bring up and keep it 90's+. I watch a lot of 80's movies but am unfamiliar with names.

And how do we know you aren't googling

I'm not doing it all off the top of my head, I can't possibly know every person in Hollywood. For the most part I have a good idea of who was in what. Sounds simple but even with google, you still need to have an extensive movie library under your belt.

me. you didn't say both of them have to be famous or live in hollywood. just that they had to work in movies.

If you're credited together, ill find you. But if you're going back to a time when you brought Kevin bacon a sandwich, then I can't do much with that. Was it after 1990?
